Collaboration between Pediatricians, School, Patient, Family, and Therapists

Autism care is most effective when everyone involved works from the same playbook. At RiseNow, we view ourselves as the central coordinator in your child’s care team, ensuring seamless communication among pediatricians, schools, therapists, and family members.

From day one, we partner closely with your child’s pediatrician. After diagnosis, we provide a detailed report and are available for direct consultation to discuss findings, answer questions, and align on medical management. When co-occurring conditions (anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues, gastrointestinal concerns) are identified, we facilitate warm hand-offs to trusted specialists while keeping the pediatrician informed.

For schools, we generate diagnostic reports that include clear statements and functional implications to support IEP or 504 plan eligibility. We do not create comprehensive school-specific reports or accommodation lists, but upon request (for a fee), we can participate in school meetings via telehealth or provide written addendums. We do not send regular progress updates to external providers unless specifically requested by the family.

For children already receiving therapies (speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, or ABA), we maintain open lines of communication when families authorize it. We share relevant diagnostic information and are available for consultation, but routine updates remain the family’s responsibility unless otherwise arranged.

Our family-centered model places parents at the heart of the team. Through ongoing parent training sessions, we equip caregivers with strategies to reinforce therapeutic goals at home, creating consistency across environments. We also connect families with local support groups, respite resources, and advocacy organizations when appropriate.

This collaborative framework transforms what can feel like a disjointed system into a unified support network. Every provider receives the information they need, every recommendation is evidence-based and coordinated, and every family feels heard and supported. The result: faster progress, fewer gaps in care, and a smoother journey for your child.
